Epik High Last Christmas Concert

Christmas Eve came and went to fast, but was wicked fun! My co-teacher Enee, her friend and myself all went to the Epik High concert. They are my absolute favorite hip hop group in Korea and I have been waiting over a year and a half to see them, so what better time than Christmas time. I don't want to bore you all with details, so just enjoy some pictures and videos.
Me outside the concert venue in full Christmas spirit. Enee's friend (I forgot her name), Enee and myself waiting for the show to start. EPIK HIGH IS AMAZING!! Tablo (left) and Mithra Jin (right). The boys making full use of the stage. Tablo is a Stanford graduate and a wicked rapper. MYK ROCKS MY WORLD. He raps in English and he is incredible. I get goosebumps when I listen to him. This is Dok2 (pronounced Dokki). He is a 19 year old up and comer. Tablo was clearly waving at me. We have a special bond. Epik High, MYK, and Dok2 during one of the encores. Lucky audience members who got roses.
I was really sad when the concert ended because it's their last concert until they finish their mandatory military service, which is two years. I can't believe I will get nothing new out of Epik High for two full years :( Here is a video of one of the songs they performed at their concert: After the concert ended Enee and I headed to the W hotel where she had free tickets to a Christmas eve party. First, we picked up her friend and then headed there together.

W hotel is a very expensive hotel in Seoul, so you can imagine that drinks at W bar would be expensive.
Take a look for yourself at these outrageous prices for the party. We took a little sitting break, so we took random pictures. This is one of them. Enee is just chilling like a villian at the party. I love this picture of Enee's friend and I. I wish I could remember her name.
We held onto our bottles of Heineken like nobodies business, they did cost us 10,000won (roughly $10) a bottle. Needless to say we only had one. When we had enough of the party we headed for some food and then to Enee's friend's house to spend the night. I woke up early to head home because I was hosting Christmas day dinner.
